 JPlus is a modern programming language and compiler that acts as a superset of Java —
 bringing the benefits of null safety, concise syntax, and powerful declarative features
 while remaining fully interoperable with existing Java code and libraries.

 ✨ Why JPlus?
 Java is a powerful and battle-tested language, but developers often face:

 Verbose boilerplate (getters/setters, constructors, etc.)
 Dangerous NullPointerExceptions
 Lack of modern language features like ?: (Elvis), smart casts, or pattern matching
 JPlus solves this by introducing modern features on top of Java — without breaking compatibility.

 JPlus code compiles to standard JVM bytecode, enabling full use of Java libraries and frameworks.

 🔐 Null Safety & Modern Syntax Features
 JPlus enforces strict null checks at compile-time and introduces Kotlin-style operators:

 Feature	Description
 Type vs Type?	Explicit non-nullable and nullable types
 ?.	Null-safe access operator
 ?:	Elvis operator for default/fallback values
 Smart Casts	Safe type narrowing after null checks
 Type Inference	Reduce verbosity, no need to declare obvious types
 Pattern Matching	Clean switch/if logic with type-safe guards
 Async Syntax (planned)	Future-ready syntax with async/await support
 🔧 NEW: apply Syntax for Replacing Lombok
 JPlus introduces the new apply statement — a powerful declarative alternative to Lombok annotations.

 🔁 Replace This:
 @Data
 @AllArgsConstructor
 @NoArgsConstructor
 @Builder
 public class User {
    private String name;
    private int age;
 }
 ✅ With This:
 apply data, builder, constructors(all, no);  

 public class User {     
 	private String name;     
 	private int age; 
 }
 💡 Even Nested Classes:
 apply data, constructor(required, all, no), builder;  
 apply {  
    User.Profile: getter, setter, equality, constructor(all);
 }  
  
 public class User {  
    private String name;    
    private int age;  
    
    public class Profile {        
 	    String nickname;    
 	}
 }
 All boilerplate — constructors, getters/setters, toString, equals, builder — generated as plain Java.

 🔭 Coming Soon: IntelliJ Plugin
 We are actively developing an IntelliJ IDEA plugin to provide:

 🔍 Syntax highlighting and autocomplete for .jplus files

 ⚠️ Real-time null-check error detection

 🚀 One-click compile-to-Java and build integration

 Stay tuned — the plugin will make JPlus production-ready for real-world development!

 💝 Support Development
 JPlus is a one-person open-source project under active development.
